You’ll learn how to use your dictionary in a great variety of  ways to help you with word forms, collocations (what words often appear with  other words, phrasal verbs, pronunciation and much more). You’ll develop a new  appreciation for your dictionary, and improved performance on all of your writing assignments.

Dr. Phil Plait, Astronomer, Author (Bad Astronomy, Death from the Skies), Discovery Channel TV Host (Phil Plait's Bad Universe)

You�۪ve heard the rumours: The Mayans predicted that the end of the world will occur on December 21, 2012.

In this lecture, Dr. Phil Plait will use firm science and lots of humour to show why there�۪s nothing to fear. No mega solar flares, no galactic alignment��_and, in fact, the Mayans didn�۪t even really predict the end of the world at all!

Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Time: 12 noon - 1: 30 p.m.
Location: North Campus, Seventh Semester (KB111)
